I wonder into the depths of insanity,

Attempting to retrieve the essence of eternal truth.

But light shines down upon me

And tempts me to rise.

I look up, and I am blinded.

But, I must continue,

That was the obligation I wished to fulfill.

I must dig down,

Deeper and deeper

Til I have found the core.

A bright hand grabs onto my shirt.

I rip it apart with my will.

Nothing shall stop me,

Nothing can now.

I think I can see the burning

Core of my essence

And it is slowly dying.

I place my lips onto it,

Oh how hot.

And I breathe my life into it,

The heat rises tremendously.

And I rise back up, my face burned off.

At least I'll live a day or two longer.

My feelings are safe

And I'm not dying anymore.

I shall do this once a week

To rejuvinate my soul,

So that I would not die again,

As I have before.

My head will be gone,

I'll slowly wear away,

But at least I'm still young inside.

And good luck to my last days.
